Chrome's feelings

The school day was finished. Tsuna and his family began walking home, all except his mist guardian. Chrome forgot some supplies on her desk that she needed. She walked down the hallway towards her classroom.

Nearing the class she heard voices, "Im going to confess to Sawada tomarrow." A girl told her friend. Chrome paused before the classroom, she was curios. Someone liked Boss. She hid in the hallway hearing the conversation.

"I still can't believe you like no good Tsuna hahaha." Her friend replied.

"What, it's not that weird. He's kinda cute and is always nice to everyone." The girl slightly blushed thinking of her crush.

"I guess that's true, but I heard a rumor that he likes someone." Her friend said teasing the girl. Chrome knew about her boss's crush. Kyoko, Tsuna would always talk to her in a different tone, than with amyone else. A slight pain in her heart came thinking of the bitter truth.

"No way. Who? Don't tell me it's the school idol Kyoko!" The student cried. 'It is.' Chrome thought.

Her friend laughed. "No no, I heard it's Chrome Dokuro." Chrome's eye widened. She couldn't believe it. Boss liked her. A small smile found its way on Chrome.

"Hahaha!" The girl laughed. "You got to be joking. No one could like her, she's a complete freak. The eyepatch and her hair. Not to mention how much of a mute she is. Haha haha."

"I know right! I laughed too when I heard. She probably spread that rumor her self."

Chrome gasped. What, why would they say such things. Tears began to form on her eye. She knew Boss would never like her. Of course she couldn't compete with Kyoko, but...

Chrome ran away from the class. She couldn't hear another word. She was a freak. She never truly fit in with his family. Tears slowly slid down her cheek. She couldn't bear it. She just kept running, the tears kept falling.

Chrome's legs gave out, she couldn't continue. She caught her breath and wiped her tears. Her eye was puffy, her face was flushed, and she was breathing heavily.

"Where am I?" Chrome wondered, she didn't paying attention while running.

"Oi Lambo be careful!" She heard a voice. Chrome looked around, she knew this place. It was the park in Boss's neighborhood. She had subconsciously ran here, then that voice must belong too...

"Boss..." Chrome whispered out. Tsuna was with Lambo, I-pin and Fuuta. She her lips curved upwards, if only a little. He always took care of them, all of his family. They were running around in bliss, except Boss. He was watching them, making sure they didn't get hurt. No one had noticed her yet, and she decided to watched them play, enjoying the peacefull scene.

"C-Chrome!" Well someone noticed her. Boss was looking at her with a surprised smile. Chrome gave him an uneasy smile. Seeing him made the memory of the classroom come back to her. She wanted to run. Looking at Boss was too hard. He was walking towards her, he loved running into his guardians, especially the cutest one. He blushed thinking that. She's just a friend, she likes Mukoro.

"What brings you here?" He asked. Chrome suppressed her feelings of pain, and smiled at him.

"I don't know. My legs walked here."

"Oh, really?" Tsuna could feel something was wrong with her. He saw her eye, and flushed face. She had been crying. Tsuna felt a pain in his chest. He wanted to know why she was sad. Chrome was a part of his treasured family "I'm watcing the kids and would enjoy your company, if you like."

"You would?" She asked with an innocent look. Tsuna blushed, she was just too cute. He averted his gaze and scratched the back of his head.

"Yea. We are friends right?" He asked nervously.

Chrome gasped out, and her eyes widened. They were friends weren't they. She smiled and nodded.

They sat side-by-side on the swings. The kids all said hi to Chrome, and continued to play. Chrome and Tsuna sat in silence for a while. Tsuna was thinking of a way to break the ice, until Chrome said, "Boss, am I normal?"

She wanted his opinion. Her boss was important to her, not those students who insulted her.

"Are you normal?" Boss repeated the question slowly, thinking it through.

"Yea, am I?" She pressured him more.

Tsuna thought for a while, was this why she cried. Did someone say something to her. he thought it carefully, he didn't want to hurt her feelings.

"Chrome..."

"Yes Boss?" She looked at him with a vulnerable eye. He was looking down, his hair covering his eyes. When he answered, he looked up with confidence.

"Your not normal."

"O-oh" The tears were resurfacing.

"But that's what makes you apart of my family." Chrome gasped with surprise. Tsuna continued. "Lambo is a baby mafioso, I-pin is a martial-arts prodigy, Gokudara is a walking bomb, and Yamamoto thinks this is all a role-playing game. Chrome if you were normal then you wouldn't be you, we would of never met, and you wouldn't be in my life..."

Tsuna finished his speech with a whisper and his emotions found their way out.

"Boss..." Chrome blushed, speechless. Tsuna realized what he said and blushed heavily.

"I didn't mean it like that. I just meant that your apart of my family and without you it wouldn't be the same." He was looking down the whole time he spoke, but decided to sneak a peak at his mist guardian. She was blushing also.

"Thank you boss." Chrome smiled at him, and he smiled back.

"Tsuna!" Lambo yelled. "It's time to go home or else mama's food will be cold." The sun was setting and the day was ending.

Dammit Lambo, you killed the mood. Tsuna cringed at the cow. He wanted to keep talking to Chrome. She hid her sadness because she also wanted more time with Boss. "Sorry Chrome, Mom wants them home before night. It was fun talking to you. Let's go out together sometime just us ok!" He blurted out running out of the park with the kids. A smile on his face the whole time. Chrome smiled back and waved them off.

Chrome sat in silence, thinking of everything Boss said. She smiled to her self, until she realized the last thing he said. "Did he ask me out?" Chrome blushed heavily. A date with boss. She couldn't believe it, she was so happy. She didn't know why it made her feel like butterflies were swirling in her stomach, but she wore a smile all the way home.

Tsuna was walking the kids home, thinking of Chrome and their conversation. Until he realized the last thing he said.

"EEEEEHHHHHHHH!" He cried out loud.
